It's not just because I, and others, do not like the experience that I post the request for the improvement to the game. I've provided sound logical reasoning as to the redundancies in the mechanic.

It's disheartening that the only consolation that the community offers is to champion the paying of a real world fee to skip game content.
I'm not championing real world fee. You're the one saying that invalidates the intent of the devs. The intent is for you to explore on the ground first, so do that. The user experience does not need fixing, just improved with the addition of the alternative method to add consistency with ARR.
